An internal valve includes a valve stem disposed in a valve body, a poppet valve coupled to the stem, and a bleed valve coupled to the stem. The valve stem is shiftable from a first position in which the poppet valve and the bleed valve are closed, to a second position in which the bleed valve is open, and a third position in which the bleed valve is closed and the poppet valve is open, and the poppet may shift closed in response to a pressure change. A valve body of the internal valve includes primary and secondary stem guides supported by respective primary and secondary stem struts connected to an inner side of the valve body. The valve body further includes thickened portions extending inwardly toward an axis of the valve body to which the secondary stem struts connect.
